This is probably not the best way, since it will require you to configure
information in two places (and keep it in sync). However, it should work.
In $CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh add something like the following to your
JAVA_OPTS:
JAVA_OPTS="-Dwebapp.logs=some-directory"
EXPORT JAVA_OPTS
In your web application's logging.properties reference ${webapp.logs}/some-file.
This seems to work reasonably well for me using log4j and commons-logging.
. . . . just my two cents.
